The FDA approves the iDesign Advanced WaveScan Studio System for use in LASIK procedures in the United States, since it is the only device in the world to have been given this approval. Sensing technology behind iDesign in NASA’s patented James Webb Space Telescope.
The iDesign system generates 25 times more accurate eye scanning than conventional methods for measuring and correcting vision.
The iDesign System captures more than 1,200 accurate eye readings, as well as determining the shape and curvature of the cornea and how light passes through the eye and pupil diameter under different lighting conditions – all in one three-second scan to be used for accurate vision correction
The market leader, innovative in LASIK for more than a decade, has pioneered the first wave-guided LASIK technology that has transformed the vision correction industry. Abbott’s iLASIK is a laser-free, corneal-shaped blade procedure to help improve people’s vision.
Today, more than 15 million iLASIK procedures have been performed on Abbott devices worldwide – with 94 per cent of patients seeing 20/20 or better based on clinical studies. Today’s launch of iDesign Advanced WaveScan Studio heralds advances in the use of lasers to correct vision problems.
